Description: Idol Quest VR is a single-player exploration-adventure shooter with a simple premise: Discover the lost idol. To do so you will need to solve puzzles and avoid or defend yourself against dangerous wildlife and other perils in large, open environments.
Both natural (arm-swing plus head-bob) and artificial locomotion play styles are supported, and you are free to run, swim, and climb as you please. You are supplied with a knife, a backpack (for storing various pickupables), dual pistols, dual uzis (on some levels), 92 rounds of pistol ammo, a pump-action shotgun, and 18 rounds of shotgun ammo; all weapons handling is detailed and takes full advantage of VR motion controllers.
Review: Idol Quest VR is one of those free indie games that are better than you think it is going to be. Sure, it looks like crap from start to finish, but there are quite a few things to enjoy here. For a start, there are three levels in the game to explore and kill anything that moves in and there is a pretty good roller coaster to enjoy as well. There are a few other things to enjoy that I could mention but I won’t spoil them for you. For a freebie, this is well worth a look and if you can look past the bad graphics you will find yourself oddly immersed here.
